The best restaurants serving British food in Bletchingley and Nutfield Tandridge South East

On the 19th January we arrived at Lamingtons tea rooms for a pre booked afternoon tea for myself, my Dad, brother, sister in law and sister. It was a difficult day for us being a year to date our mum had suddenly passed away. We wanted to remember her and knew she always loved a cream tea. After hearing such good reviews about Lamingtons we decided to take the plunge and book on a Sunday afternoon. Well from start to finish our experience was absolutely fantastic, we were met by the lovely Mark who introduced himself to us, so welcoming we were greated like old friends. We were sat at a large round table at the front, where we could admire the beautiful decor of the tea room. We were offered a non alcoholic Prosecco which was absolutely delicious and you would never have known it was alcohol free! Well when the afternoon tea came out we were taken back how delicious it looked so much variety , one of us had a gluten free version and you would not have known the difference it was so nice to see the gluten free person wasn’t missing out with limited choice. Well the food was so delicious so fresh and so plentiful, the teapot was kept filled up by Mark too and he kept an eye on us making sure everything was ok and popping over to talk to us. I cannot say how fantastic this place is, such a gem and we cannot wait to come back, oh and a big shout out to whoever was in the kitchen preparing all the delicious food.

Great food, great atmosphere, I loved the crab

The restaurant is lovely, set in the cloisters, the staff are attentive, very smartly dressed and the quality is good – possibly bordering on very good. However, the prices are now top end and higher than many London restaurants, for example, a fillet steak with a sauce and chips is priced at over £55 and this is before you include the 12.5% tip. That’s too much. A modest three course dinner, with a glass of wine, is starting to nudge £100 a head. I fear they are pricing themselves out of the market.

The food was delicious and the roast portion sizes were great. The servicenunfortunately was pretty poor. They kept saying it was really busy so there was a delay with food, even when we wanted to order desserts (ice cream) we were told there would be a 30 to 45 minute delay. But the place was never completely full....and there were loads of wait staff. Similarly it took ages to get the attention of anyone to place orders and 1 or 2 of the staff seemed to have a sour attitude when we mentioned something was incorrect with one of the main meals. If you are happy to wait a while for your food and drinks then it's worth visiting for the roasts.

This is what I call a ‘proper’ pub. Quality beers, lagers and wine. No food, no large numbers of kids going mad. An absolute oasis of relaxation along with professional bar staff that make you feel welcomed and valued as a customer Simply the best around

Met friends here today for a Sunday Roast. The pub was buzzing when we arrived. We received a lovely welcome. The starters were good. Whitebait and Patte. Next the roasts. We had beef. It was a really tasty plate of food. The beef was well cooked, the Yorkshire pudding was the right size in my opinion. sometimes they are huge as if the chef has something to prove! The potatoes were crispy. Not easy I imagine when you're cooking for the masses. Lovely selection of veg and tasty gravy, so all in all, a good dining experience

We enjoyed Afternoon Tea at the Cloisters. All the food was very good in a beautiful historic restaurant with great views. Kellie gave exceptional service, making sure we were happy and looked after at every step of the way.
